I received this via Netflix, and I have to say I don't know why everyone seemed to hate this movie. Is it a great movie? No, but its fun and the characters are pretty well fleshed out considering the number of protagonists there are and I really like how Doom was presented and how his character was actually preserved for future films, a device that so few comic movies choose to use considering that every superhero/group needs their respective arch villian like Magneto in the X-men series (Longest sentence evar!!!)
I actually thought Michael Chiklis was great as The Thing as he was able to emote very well even with all the prosthetics. Another aspect that I enjoyed was how they presented the awakening of their powers and how they each reacted to them. Anyone else think this movie was treated unfairly?
This movie even got me to thinking about a big Marvel "event" movie being a possibility. There have been a lot of Marvel movies as of late and they've all done pretty well at the box-office. There are even more in production with Ghost Rider being the next to be released I think. I think a huge cross-over movie with all the marvel characters that have made it to film would be fantastic in a few years. Maybe unveil Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet or unleash the one marvel character that is steeped in the mythos of the Marvel universe... GALACTUS. Just make sure Jim Starlin writes the damn screenplay.

Even writing this I know it will never happen, but its fun to dream.
